On September 5, the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) issued a statement expressing grave concern after it was revealed that State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been unlawfully arrested and detained by the terrorist junta, is currently suffering from a serious heart condition and is being denied proper medical treatment. The information was disclosed by her son, Kim Aris (aka Ko Htein Lin).
The terrorist junta not only unlawfully seized power from the democratically elected government chosen by the people but also arrested 29,628 individuals—including State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, national leaders, elected MPs, and political activists. Among them, 22,366 remain in detention to this day.
Furthermore, detainees are subjected to torture, denied access to their families, and held under inhumane conditions. Even those suffering from life-threatening illnesses are deprived of adequate medical care. According to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP), 129 prisoners are currently facing death sentences, 44 have been sentenced to life imprisonment, and 2,185 people have died in custody during the junta’s rule.
The CRPH reaffirmed that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi is the legitimate leader of Myanmar, having been democratically elected and serving as a Member of Parliament in the 2020 general elections. She continues to enjoy overwhelming public support and remains a key leader in resolving Myanmar’s political crisis.
The statement strongly condemned the junta’s actions, declaring that detaining a democratically elected national leader under such dire conditions for 1,678 days since February 1, 2021, while denying her critical heart treatment, constitutes political persecution. The junta must bear full responsibility for any consequences.
The CRPH reiterated its unwavering demand for an end to the unlawful coup and military dictatorship, the establishment of a federal democratic system through inclusive political dialogue, and the immediate release of all political prisoners, including President U Win Myint and State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
It emphasized that releasing detained leaders, MPs, and political prisoners is the essential first step toward ending conflict and building sustainable peace in Myanmar.
Although the junta publicly claims to pursue peace, in reality it continues systematic repression, widespread atrocities, and deadly airstrikes that kill civilians. Therefore, the CRPH called on the UN, ASEAN, neighboring countries, and the international community to take concrete action to help end the junta’s daily atrocities, secure the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners, and support the people’s struggle to establish a Federal Democratic Union of Myanmar.

A team of Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) doctors, led by Dr. Khin Maung Lwin, Deputy Minister of Health of the National Unity Government (NUG), successfully performed a free surgical operation on a child suffering from congenital hydrocephalus (a condition where fluid accumulates in the brain) in a liberated area.
On his social media page, Dr. Khin Maung Lwin wrote: “While contributing to the revolution, we also take care of cases like this. All free of charge. Congenital Hydrocephalus. Ventriculoperitoneal shunt has been inserted.”
This operation highlights the resilience and commitment of healthcare professionals who joined the CDM after the coup, continuing to provide vital medical care to civilians in liberated areas despite life-threatening risks.

The Republic of Korea and the World Food Programme (WFP) have jointly launched a new emergency humanitarian assistance program in Myanmar, named “REACH”, to respond to the crises of hunger and humanitarian hardship, according to a September 5 announcement.
Funded with a USD 10 million contribution from the Republic of Korea, the REACH program will provide two months of food and/or cash assistance to around 300,000 people in conflict-affected and earthquake-affected areas. In addition, about 24,000 individuals—including pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and children—will receive nutritional support and treatment to prevent and address malnutrition.
WFP stated that it will work in partnership with local organizations and NGOs to deliver direct assistance to those in urgent need.
According to the latest Hunger Hotspots Report, Myanmar has been identified as the fifth largest country in the world in terms of the number of people facing severe hunger.
Currently, 1 in every 3 people (16.7 million in total) in Myanmar is experiencing food insecurity, a significant rise from 13.3 million in 2024. Among them, 2.8 million people are in emergency conditions, struggling to secure even a single daily meal.
Moreover, the average cost of basic food items has increased fourfold compared to early 2021, leaving millions unable to afford essential food supplies.
